and roll the 3 overlapping strips, forming a sausage shape. Let it rest in the freezer for 20 minutes.
After resting, cut into slices about 0.4 inches thick with a smooth, sharp knife.
Take each one in your hands, gently press, and create an indentation by pressing from the center outwards with your fingers.
